CARTO credentials file

To generate CARTO Auth tokens in carto-auth you need to create a carto_credentials.json file with the following content:

{
    "api_base_url": "https://gcp-us-east1.api.carto.com",
    "client_id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
    "client_secret": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
}

To obtain the file's content, go to the Developers section in the CARTO Dashboard. More information in https://docs.carto.com/carto-user-manual/developers/carto-for-developers/#carto-for-developers.

API Base URL

You can directly copy the API Base URL. It will be different depending on the region where your account is located.

Built applications

Create a new "Machine to Machine" application to generate the Client ID and Client Secret.

Click on "+ Create new".
Fill in the name and description. The URL is irrelevant in this case, so feel free to use something like https://example.domain.com.
Open the "Advanced Settings" menu.
In "Application Type" select "Machine to Machine".
Click "Save" and check that your application is listed.

From the list, copy the new Client ID and Client Secret and add them into your credentials file.
